I'm taking cabergoline for a pituitary tumor and...?
I want to take L-Lysine for some canker sores but I don't know about mixing alternative medications. Does anyone know about mixing these two?
Thanks

1 AnswerCooking & Recipes1 decade agoWhat is a good recipe for thick frosting?
I've been trying (practicing) to make a pokemon cake for my daughter's birthday. But the frosting is too runny and it's hard to get things like the eyes and cheeks to look right. It just runs together. Is there a recipe that is thick so the eyes, mouth and cheek colors don't run together?
3 cups of powdered sugar
1 cup of butter
1tsp of vanilla
Most recipes on the internet are just like the one I used above. I added about 2 more cups of powdered sugar and it was still runny.
1 AnswerCooking & Recipes1 decade agoSome one said that God killed a person for?
God killed some one for masturbating. I have never read that in the bible. I don't remember the name of the book, but I did read that God told them to cover it up with dirt after relieving themselves, because they were on Holly Land. Unless relieving themselves meant urinating? I wondered about that and want to see other points of view from ONLY PEOPLE WHO HAVE READ THE BIBLE PLEASE!!!!!

9 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoIs it normal for a newborn baby to shake?
My sister-in-law's newborn baby is shaking and I know she was taking this addictive medication the whole time she was pregnant.
She said the baby was shaking like that because she was hungry and couldn't get enough breast milk so the nurses added bottle formula to her diet and she started eating better. (That part is true that she wasn't eating enough from the breast), But I don't believe that is what caused her baby to shake. Any thoughts? Has anyone been around a lot of newborns and if so, do any of them shake like they are in withdrawal?
7 AnswersNewborn & Baby1 decade agoIf I don't have a tumor on my Pituitary Gland?
What would be causing me to lactate when I'm not pregnant? Also, I've gained 30 pounds in 4 months and my body aches everyday. Even my arm muscles hurt from all of this weight. I've always had a good metabolism and have been thin my whole life and this weight is killing me. Can someone tell me if there is a way to cure these problems if I don't have a tumor?
I'm trying not to worry and I don't believe I have a tumor.
I'm going to get an MRI to see if I have one due to lactating
1 AnswerCancer1 decade agoI wonder if my friend's dad is a pedophile?
My friend takes care of her father and I often go with her to help her run errands. Every time I go to the bathroom he has magazines with children on them. The photos are not pornography but just simply photos of children. One had a girl sucking on a lollipop and that is what got me suspicious.
Also, I heard a rumor that he was, but never said anything to my friend because I don't want to upset her. She takes both of her children over to his house when she cleans and I never seen him look at them suspiciously. IDK what to think?
6 AnswersMental Health1 decade agoThe doctors can't figure out what is wrong with me?
I need help!!
I have gained 70 pounds in one year and what is bad is that I gained 35 pounds in a 3 month period, and it's hard for me to move around without pain. If the weight came on gradually then I could adjust but it's like having 30 pounds of weights on my back. I eat healthy and not all that much to have gained this much weight.
My feet are swollen
I'm craving sugar like crazy
I'm tired to the point I was sleeping 15 hours a night, then that got better and I'm sleeping about 9 hours but waking up every two hours. I feel tired all day with no energy.
The weight went to my stomach area and it's pushing up on my lungs causing me to have a hard time breathing.
My breasts are sore, and enlarged, and are discharging the same as when I was pregnant (I'm not pregnant though)
I'm hot one minute and then freezing cold. At one point I was literally unable to get out from under the heating blanket. Then all of the sudden I started having night sweats. Now I'm back and forth.
I know my thyroid is off because I'm taking 100 mcg of Synthroid.
I've been tested for everything under the sun. I don't have diabetes, and my blood pressure is good.
Any suggestions? I think I have adrenal imbalance due to a test I took online. I want to try a nutritionist, but I don't trust these websites and thought maybe I should go to a nutritionist's office. Or should I go with pharmaceutical medications once this is figured out?
4 AnswersOther - Diseases1 decade agoMy thyroid is bad and I need a appetite suppressant?
I just had my dose increased to .1 mg of synthroid and my doctor just added .5 mcg of Cytomel and I'm taking Methadone.
For some reason all of the sudden I am craving sugar and my appetite just got bigger. (Someone told me that Methadone causes sugar cravings). I want personal experience and not hear say please.
I'm usually not a big eater but I am now???? Any thoughts on a safe appetite suppressant.
2 AnswersOther - Diseases1 decade agoI've been having trouble breathing?
I noticed that I've been having trouble breathing. It's worse when I just walk up and down the basement steps and when I lay down to sleep. Does anyone know what this could be?
2 AnswersRespiratory Diseases1 decade agoDid I do the right thing doctor?
I was in a car accident 15 years ago. I fractured my skull and there was hemorrhaging in 5 different areas on the brain, ruptured spleen and pancreas, I had to have 2 blood transfusions to save my spleen. I broke my shoulder and hip.
The doctor told my family to come in because they were not sure if I would make it through the night. I was in the hospital for a month with memory loss amongst other things. The last week I was there my memory started coming back, but I had to take speech therapy and sometimes I knew things a person my age should know, and other times I had the mentality of a child.
Needless to say I was addicted to Demerol due to having it for a month straight. I was thrown into the world without realizing I was addicted. I was red flagged as a drug seeker because I asked every specialist I had to see for pain medication.
When I was cut off I had no idea I was in detox. I thought I was DYING so I was driving to the hospital and almost got into another wreck. My 6 year old child was with me. I should have sued the medical field for negligence. they let me loose into the world with a child mentality most times for the first 3 months.
When I realized I was addicted, and I stopped seeking the pain medication even though I was in PAIN. I used way to much Advil and now I have Acid Reflux.
After 15 years of wear andplus pluse a hard fall on the ice last year I made my back worse than it already was. I'm in so much pain from it and so I tried to get pain medication. I went to the pain clinic for pain management and of course they said no. I had 3 epidurals in my back and I'm scheduled to have 3 in my neck next month. The don't care about the pain only that I was addictDemerolemeral for a short time 15 years ago WTF?
I feel this is very unfair for the medical field to deny me pain medication after I have proof of real pain in my back and neck (not to mention in 5 other places)
A friend of mine told me her sister is in a similar situation and can't get pain medication. She told her doctor she was an addict and he referred her to a rehab doctor and he prescribed her methadone and she told me to do the same.
This is what I did. I told the rehab center in my city I was addicted to pain medication and now I get methadone. My doctor would not refer me to a doctor like my friend's doctor did.
My insurance wont pay for the methadone if it's used for pain management ONLY FOR DRUG ABUSE (Isn't that crazy)? So I'm basically committing fraud now but in due time I will be addicted again if I continue to go the the methadone clinic because I have to take the medication everyday because they dispense the medication once a day in liquid form so there is no way I can pretend I didn't take it. If I don't show up on the days I don't need it I will get suspended from the clinic because they will think I'm using the methadone for pain management. (I had to sing a form there claiming I was not taking the methadone for pain management).
This is a big crazy mess the doctors put me in because I was addicted to a drug for 5 months (give or take) without realizing it and got red flagged.
This clinic I go to makes is not highly looked upon. It's probably going to be hard to get a good job when my back and neck get better, because everyone gives drug test. My reputation is ruined because I had to say I was an addict to get my insurance to pay for it.
I guess I have to have a broken finger to get vicodin for 6 months and the reason I say that is my friend broke her finger and got vicodin for 6 months. I can't believe this....Can you?
OK Doctors did I make the right decision with the methadone clinic because you are so afraid I might be addicted after all those injuries, all the while your colleagues are writing scripts for six months over a broken finger.
